Making Calendula Oil
Calendula infused oil is simple to make and is a great addition to the home medicine kit. It has antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial properties; making it useful for healing wounds, soothing eczema, relieving sunburn, dry skin, and rashes, including nappy rash. In fact it can be used for any irritated skin condition.
To make Calendula Oil place dried calendula petals in a glass jar. Cover them with a carrier oil of choice eg Sweet almond, Olive, Avocado, Apricot, Jojoba, etc. Put a lid on the jar and place in a sunny spot. Shake the jar every day or so. After about a month, strain off the oil and store ready for use.
If you prefer using a healing salve rather than an oil then put 1/3 cup of beeswax into a heavy based pot and heat on the lowest possible temperature until melted. Whisk in 1 1/4 cups of your infused calendula oil. If you would like to add a fragrance then add 10-20 drops of an essential oil of choice. Poor into jars, cool for a day, then cap and store ready for use.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
53.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
27.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
18.5% ... It is complicated

Illegal dumping
This is awful how people just disregard bylaws. dump their rubbish in parks and waterways to try get away with having to pay dumping costs at the rubbish dumps and transfer stations. This also can cause flooding again due to blocking the grate of the culvert in Princes street. No thought for neighbours or damage that can be caused by their actions.
